livery-stable keeper of that place.
He then stopped at the Central Hotel
here, kept by Jacob Rogers, aud or
dcred lodgings and breakfast. How
ever McGariglc did not register or
make himself known. The landlord
suspected that his guest was trying to
cvade justice and on making enquiries
of the man who drove him here made
out his identity. McGarigle slept
until O'Clock when he took break
fast and rendered $40 American
bank note from which he deducted
his bill. The landlord expressed
doubt as to its genuineness when
McGariglc said it was such of those
which the grand institution of the
United States was founded upon. The
fugitive then went 10 tho station

boarded the 6:3S q. IN. train for that
city. He made no effort TO hide his
identity and was recognized by both

train by his resemblance to a picture
of him they had seen. lilo stated to a
party, with whom he was conyorsing
that ii was his intention to return to
Chicago as soon as he got the little
affair settled. lie appeared in no way
reticent in talking over the matter and
did not seem to have any desire to
conceal himself from the public eye.
lie still wears the same clothes and
wears his whiskcrs and mustachc in
the Same fashion as when he left
Chicago.

a Happy New Year.

To dav closes the books tor the
year 1887. Tonight at II o'clock
the old year will be laid in the grave
Of the past and the burden Of time
will be taken up by tie year 1888
AS we revert to the events OF 1881.
We see much cause for gratitude TO
the Giver Of all good for blessings
extended, but at the same time every
one must feel that they have not
improved all their opportunities as
they should have done. It is foolish,
however, to spend any time in use
less regrets for the past. for what Is
done can not be undone, and the only
good to be derived from looking to
the past is, that we may prepare for
better acting in the time TO come.
The MERIDIoNAL extends to every
one Of its readers a sincere wish for
a happy new year; and I'VE ask oar
lady friends to skip this paragraph
to our bachelor friends, young and
told, we say. "be on your guard"
the year 1883 is leap year." and
the ladies have threatened to take
full advantage Of it. Il is the Gus
tom for the young man, when ad-
dressed by the Il whom he ought
to have talked business" long ago,
to either say yes with a blush), and

proves the best for the lady, say No,
and give to the fair wocer a grey
horse. Now, again we say, young
man, beware" But few of u
friends have grey horses; but we
know n who has an old grey mule
which he, no doubt, would be glad
to dispose of.
In return for our kind wishes we
hope our good friends, the business
men of Abbeville, will return the
wish to their paper, and will be so
sincere in the wish as to give us an
increase Of patronage. Tell the
people, through the columns of your
parish paper, what you are, and
what you can do, and We q promise
you that you will not lose your
.vu..d.
Our hope is, that tie coming year
will be one Of much prosperity to
onr country, and to US all. We
believe General Francis T. Nichols
will be made governor, and if it is
not too much to hope for, we would
like to announce the coming of a
"a ilroad to u fertile country; and
may all things so work together that
we can say, rot only a happy new
year, but a happy year from Erst to
last. $50 mote it be-"
